About Li-ion battery
A Li-ion battery is a rechargeable battery with the highest electrochemical potential. A positive terminal, a negative terminal, and an electrolyte between the terminals constitute the main parts of the battery. The basic principle of working of Li-ion batteries is to generate power when ions move from a negatively charged anode to the positively charged cathode. When the battery discharges, the movement of ions from the anode to the cathode releases energy. On the other hand, during charging, electricity from the adapter forces the ions to return to the anode in the battery. Once the adapter is removed, this cycle starts again. With time, the charge hold capacity of a Li-ion battery deteriorates because of lack of movement of ions, which are trapped in the anode. Some benefits of using Li-ion batteries include higher current density, low self-discharge rates, and minimal maintenance costs. Li-ion batteries are widely used in the consumer electronics, automotive, industrial, and power grid and renewable energy sectors.
TechNavio's analysts forecast the Li-ion battery market in South Korea to grow at a CAGR of 10.4 percent over the period 2014-2019.
